Diving Chesapeake

[WVMike]

How is the diving in Chesapeake Bay? Or the Maryland shore?

I will be in Rock Hall this weekend and wondering if anyone on board is diving in that area.

thanks

...but we did an oyster dive in the Chesapeake last December (21st) and it was cold (39) with bad viz (2'). It was good eating though..

duuuhhh.....*slaps self on the head* They have an annual oyster festival so there must be oysters....should have thought about that.

Dove Calvert Clifts looking for fossils. Visibility was 2ft. Found crabs, skates (ray), and sea shells. Had to enter from a public beach, required .5mile walk with all the gear.

U-1105 is near Dahlghren - on a good day visibility is 7 feet, with lots of current/tide.

There is a sub S-49 in the patuxent river in about 102' of water. The current is pretty strong though when the tide is moving.
